Men Accused of Using Samurai Swords to Kidnap, Torture Lancaster Teen

Two men were in custody Thursday in connection with the kidnapping and torture of a Lancaster teenager last month.

The victim, identified only as an 18-year-old boy, was abducted on Sept. 25 in Lancaster and tortured with lit cigarettes, cut with Samurai swords and beaten, according to a news release from the L.A. County Sheriff’s Department. He was later released near 20th Street West and Avenue J.

On Thursday, sheriff’s deputies served a search warrant at a home in the 8300 block of West Avenue F.

At the home, deputies found suspect Ston Lee. Deputies also recovered a firearm, drug paraphernalia, and a hydroponic marijuana grow, according to the release.
